Mun? Hello, yes, it's me.

Um... Alright, look, I really don't think this is a good idea. I know you have a lot of doubts about it, too, and... This time? I think you should listen to those doubts.

You can't just take me from the middle of a great adventure and make me part of a family. Especially not if I'm going to be a kid. I'm eighteen now, and I've--

No, I'm not saying I want to suddenly have a stranger for a husband, but...

[Sigh.]

Fine. If you won't listen... I won't let you. If I could handle Eugene, I bet I can handle you, too.

My condolences. I would hate to be put in a place like that. With my powers stripped and all that ORDER. I think I would go crazier than usual!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I'm more upset about what I won't get to be doing back home...

[cheese_for_everyone]

Well when you get sent back you'll get to start that up again. It will be like you never even left.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

If I get sent back.

[iwillstop_theworld]

The change wasn't so bad for me.

Then again, I can't imagine what it's like for someone who actually has something to lose.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It wasn't?

[Oh wait...]

Why didn't you have anything to lose?

[iwillstop_theworld]

It's a...long story.

Anyway, if you end up going to high school at Mayfield, you'll probably have me as your chem teacher, once my mun gets around to giving me that official job.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh. Alright. Well, I have time, if you want to talk.

I shouldn't be in a high school, though, but... It might be interesting.

Chem?

[iwillstop_theworld]

Thanks, but...I'm sure it's a story you'd rather not hear.

Yeah, chemistry. It's a kind of science. Science is...kind of what I do.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

How can you be sure?

Oh! Science is so amazing!

[legendary_taunt]

[Suddenly, Pink Man!]

Say, aren't you Barney Stinson? Your show is like the best thing out there!

[Have a thumbs up. A MIGHTY thumbs up!]

SCREAM IRL

[iwillstop_theworld]

_{[What the--]}

I...I think you're mistaken. You've, uh. Got the wrong person. I'm...I'm Billy. I don't know any Barney.

[truffulacide]

[hm, this sounds familiar...]

Please don't tell me the place she's sending you to starts with an M and rhymes with "Baybeald".

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Did your mun send you there?

[truffulacide]

Not yet, but she's going to. It looks like a dump, and I bet it smells like one too considering that no one drinks the milk.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I guess we're in the same boat, then.

My name's Rapunzel.

[truffulacide]

Just two kids waiting for the Crazybus on their first day of Crazyschool.

I'm the Once-ler. Sorry this couldn't have been under better circumstances.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[A giggle.] Yes, exactly.

The Once-ler? [She mumbles to herself...] Once-ler... I like that name. And I'm sorry, too.

[fryingpans]

I got caught on the 'husband for a stranger' part.

1/2

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Eugene!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Wait, if he cares about that... Does that mean mother was wrong about him? Oh, she hopes so!]

...Yes. It's bad either way, really.

I don't want to go. I wouldn't mind an adventure, but no there... And not now.

[fryingpans]

[ What? This guy? No! Nope.
...Okay maybe. ]

Mmhm. Mine was side-eying it so I got the read out on it and I can't say I approve of your mun's life choices.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

She's, uh...

[Sigh.]

I don't approve of her decisions, either. But thank you for looking out for me, Eugene. That's sweet.

[fryingpans]

Ah ha. Yeah. No problem.

Not that I have anything to worry about. You could probably handle that one. Might only be doing it to stop mine from looking at that freak show again.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

...Oh, I see. Well, I hope you don't have to go there. I mean... [And she's mumbling...] I'd like to see you there, but...
